Considering there's only two active questions in this entire category, then I'm guessing that percentage you're asking about is pretty darn low.
Considering it's only existed since 1966 (when it was invented in California), then I wouldn't exactly refer to it as a significant holiday. In contrast, Christmas has been around as a December 25th holiday since about the 3rd or 4th Century AD, Hanukkah has been around since about 135 BC, and Eid ul-Fitr has been around even longer.

I don't have the real facts on the percentage ratings, but I do know for a fact that a lot of African Americans do not know the history of Kwanzaa. It's sad to say that some never heard of Kwansaa. American traditional holidays were the only thing taught in schools, in churches, and shown all over National TV. It' time for African Americans to go to Libraries, Book Stores, and African Stores and learn about the history of Kwanzaa. You'll be glad you did. Put Kwanzaa out there to the nation.

I would say at least 25% of African-Americans in the U.S. alone, celebrate Kwanzaa.

I think Christmas is more popular among us.I might be wrong though since I'm only speaking from what I know.I think they're both great holidays however.

I think most have heard of it now.
You would think if people wanted to make a new holiday they would put it the day after Thanksgiving when people are often off work not the day after Christmas.
